SINGAPORE:Â A driver died on Tuesday (May 27) after an accident involving two lorries along Braddell Road before Bishan Flyover.
The police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said they were alerted to the accident at about 2pm.
Two people were found trapped in the driver's seat of the lorries, said SCDF, adding that they had to be rescued using hydraulic rescue equipment.
"A 36-year-old male lorry driver was conveyed conscious to the hospital, where he subsequently passed away," said the police.
"The other 59-year-old male lorry driver and his 48-year-old male passenger were conveyed conscious to the hospital. Police investigations are ongoing."
All three were taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
The accident caused an hours-long traffic snarl along Braddell Road and the surrounding areas, including Lornie Highway.
Lornie Viaduct was closed for about six hours and reopened at 8.40pm. The Land Transport Authority first alerted motorists about the viaduct closure at about 2.20pm on its X feed.
As of 7.25pm, motorists reported that the viaduct was still closed. This added to peak-hour traffic, with the jam stretching to as far as Adam Road.
A traffic police officer was also seen blocking vehicles from entering Lornie Viaduct near the MacRitchie area.Â
